If it's indeed true that all good things deserve a sequel, then fans of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War deserve to hear this news: THQ and Relic Entertainment have officially announced a sequel.

THQ also had an extra announcement for players who've purchased Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm. Find out what it is after the jump.

One word that can really stir up excitement is the word "tournament." Incidentally, that's exactly what GGL Global Gaming will be holding for players of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War: Soulstorm. The prizes at stake are nothing to sneeze at, either. For more contest details, just check the full article after the jump.

We're in for a brutal week to kick this month off, marked by Kratos' latest killing trip through God of War: Chains of Olympus for the PSP and Jimmy Hopkins' enrollment for scholarship in Bullworth Academy. War is nigh with Warhammer 40K's latest expansion and Army of Two, though there's still a couple of baseball titles inbound if you want a break from all the violence. All these are waiting at the full article, so hit that jump!

If Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, StarCraft 2, and Empire: Total War wasn't enough to satisfy players' appetites for tactical brain-twisting, then THQ's got another real-time strategy game serving. This time, it's got Warhammer 40,000 sprinkled all over it. Welcome Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm for Windows PCs worldwide.

The new standalone installment will introduce two more races (including the Dark Eldar) into the feuding seven of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, and will take elements of previous installments for a strategic facelift. Coupled with new airborne units and a planetary-wide strategic meta-game, players will have to wield new additional units to conquer an entire star system.

Soulstorm will also include multiplayer medals (Command & Conquer-ish, EA's later generation) as awards to the most skillful of tactical and strategic commanders. So keep glued to this space while the game ushers itself toward a Spring 2008 release, by none other than RTS veterans Relic Entertainment.

THQ announced today that the RTS series of Relic Entertainment's Epic Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is now available in one cool package, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Platinum Edition.

What's in store for you here in this collection would be the complete installments of the franchise, and with a content-packed bonus DVD that features playable demos of three more THQ Windows PC titles to boot. So that's basically a steal, since the PC titles are highly-lauded in themselves: Company of Heroes, Supreme Commander, and Titan Quest. The price for this steal deal? US$ 39.99. Not bad, eh? Not bad, indeed.

Says Bob Aniello, senior vice president of worldwide marketing for THQ,

THQ's Relic Entertainment has created three blockbuster titles set in the Warhammer 40,000 Universe, establishing the series as one of the most popular RTS franchises worldwide. Bringing the titles together into one collector's platinum edition is a must-have for any RTS enthusiast.
